Clonally transmissible cancers are somatic cell lineages that are spread between
individuals via the transfer of living cancer cells. There are only three known naturally …

Genomics promises exciting advances towards the important conservation goal of
maximizing evolutionary potential, notwithstanding associated challenges. Here, we explore …

Naturally transmissible tumours can emerge when a tumour cell gains the ability to pass as
an infectious allograft between individuals. The ability of these tumours to colonize a new …

Contagious cancers that pass between individuals as an infectious cell line are highly
unusual pathogens. Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) is one such contagious cancer that …

Cancer poses one of the greatest human health threats of our time. Fortunately, aside from a
few rare cases of cancer transmission in immune-suppressed organ transplant recipients [1] …

Anthropogenic threats often impose strong selection on affected populations, causing rapid
evolutionary responses. Unfortunately, these adaptive responses are rarely harnessed for …

Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is a transmissible cancer devastating the Tasmanian
devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) population. The cancer cell is the 'infectious' agent transmitted as …

Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) has decimated wild populations of Tasmanian devils
(Sarcophilus harrisii) due to its ability to avoid immune detection and pass from host to host …

Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is a clonally transmissible cancer threatening
the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) with extinction. Live cancer cells are the infectious …

Devil Facial Tumour 2 (DFT2) is a recently discovered contagious cancer circulating in the
Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), a species which already harbours a more …
